The Plastic Problem
Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic waste end up in landfills and oceans. Traditional plastic bags can take hundreds of years to break down, releasing harmful microplastics into the soil and water. For everyday tasks like lining bins or picking up after pets, this becomes a serious environmental burden.
Compostable vs Biodegradable – What’s the Difference?
- Biodegradable bags: Often still contain plastic. They break into smaller pieces but don’t fully return to nature.
- Compostable bags: Made from plant-based materials like corn starch. They decompose into natural elements such as water, carbon dioxide, and biomass—without leaving behind toxic residue.
That’s why compostable is the smarter choice if you truly want a plastic-free lifestyle.
Everyday Benefits of Compostable Bags
- Safe for home compost bins and municipal composting systems.
- Strong enough for kitchen waste, garden clippings, and pet waste.
- Help reduce your household’s plastic footprint.
- Scent-free and safe for daily use.
Why Ecosprout Bags Stand Out
Ecosprout’s compostable poo bags and bin bags are designed for both convenience and sustainability:
- Poo bags: Leak-resistant, thick, and easy to carry during walks.
- Bin bags: Available in five practical sizes (10L, 20L, 30L, 50L, 70L) for home, office, and outdoor bins.
- Made from PLA + PBAT derived from corn starch—100% plastic-free.
How to Use Them Correctly
- Store bags in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or heat.
- Dispose of them in a compost bin or organic waste system where facilities exist.
